Lyrics

My Love for Her is Real - Mike Delaney – for FAWM25

She found my fake profile
On a fake dating site
But she connected with me anyway
Now my outlook is bright

It had an AI-generated portrait
That looks kinda like me
And lots of made-up details
I wanted everyone to see

My Love for Her is Real

I’ve got a mouth of false teeth
And Just-for-Men hair
And all the sincerity I can fake
To show her I truly care

So, I shower her with gifts
No expense will I spare
Though, it’s the thought that counts
‘Cause my resources are spare

My Love for Her is Real

I gave her plastic roses
That looked pretty good
And a knock-off bracelet
That was made of wood

Some you-know-who look-alike sneakers
That I spray painted gold
Some mock chocolates
That weren’t especially old

My Love for Her is Real

A lab grown diamond
That was fairly bright
And uncultured pearls
That felt kinda light

But I gotta say it
Lest you eschew
My feelings for her are real
My love for her is true

My Love for Her is Real

We dined at the Five Star
I heard it was the best
She looked too perfect
I felt truly blessed

But, she wouldn’t eat or drink
And while I’m no Freud
I finally figured it out…
She was an android!

…It turned out…
My Lover wasn’t Real
My Lover wasn’t Real
….My effort wasted ‘cause….
My Lover wasn’t Real
My Lover wasn’t Real

The music has a nice bounce to it. The burst of harmonica was well done. The lyrics are cute and funny. I like the refrain "My Love For Her Real," which contrasts nicely with all the phony stuff the narrator does. And then there's the twist at the end, which ties everything up. Enjoyed listening to this. Thanks for sharing!
